Miss Ada turned six months old today. She is doing so many new things it is hard to keep up. Her first bottom tooth is coming in, she is sitting unsupported really well, she tries to sit up when on her back, she tries to lunge forward but ends up scooting backwards when on her hands and knees, she has rolled in both directions (but not because she meant to) and she is making more sounds. I’m pretty sure she is saying (crying) mama when she doesn’t want to go down for a nap! :)
I gave in and ordered the matching 7-12 month onesies…so this will continue :)
My dear Uncle Dave went to be with Jesus Saturday night after a long battle with cancer. It’s hard to believe he is gone and even harder to say goodbye, but we know we will see him again in heaven!
Please pray for my Aunt Rexine and the rest of our family in the days ahead.
I have a few pictures from the last time I saw my uncle which was almost a year ago. Ada was about 6 months old in these photos. I have lots of great memories of Dave and wish I could share them all. We spent many summers with our families camping in Oregon or spending time at the family cabin on Bumping Lake (WA). He also used to send me news & magazine articles on anything horse related. He knew I had a love for animals and would think of me from time to time. You will be greatly missed Uncle Dave!
Ada will be 2 this Sunday! I can’t believe she is that old already, where has the time gone?! She is still her normal fireball self, full of energy and curiosity. She loves to learn names of people and objects and asks us to “name!” them quite often. She can count 1-10, though not always in that order…2, 6, 7, 8, 10! (yelling the last number). Ada says “right here” but imagine her having a southern accent when she says it, makes us smile. She knows a few opposites, forwards/backwards, up/down, open/closed, etc. She likes to say “ok” when she understands something or “nope” when she disagrees :)
These were taken towards the end of our vacation in Kona, but thought I would throw them in since she is almost 2. The dress was a gift from her Gramma & Grampa.
And no, I can’t get her to smile for me anymore unless I have a bribe (preferably chocolate) or a person behind me to get her attention…I had neither for this shoot but managed to get a partial smile (the wall) :)
Ada is one month old today! I can’t believe how quickly the time has passed. I am finding that I am enjoying her more and more each day. She brings me joy even in the middle of the night :) I love our little miracle and praise God for her.
My good friend Jessica gave me a set of onesies with the first six months printed on them. I will have fun with these!
